Facebook Backs Off Content Grabbing Terms

Posted on February 20, 2009

Facebook recently put up new terms of service saying they could use and sell user's content and keep its user's content even if people deleted their accounts. This upset many Facebook users who have personal photos and other content on the Facebook service that they don't want Facebook to be able to use or resell. The anger at the new Facebook terms kept building to the point where Facebook finally had to retract the new terms. Facebook plans to post a new revision to the terms later which could anger Facebook users all over again. Rocketboom explains Facebook's terms and what it all means for users and content ownership in the clip below.
